Like many people who have had weight-loss surgery, I guess I just got sick and tired of feeling trapped--- trapped in my increasingly immobile and ineffective body, trapped by my constant hunger cravings and trapped by the embarassment of being so big. But fortunately, I held the key to the locks that imprisoned me-- I just needed someone to help me find it. Luckily a stranger reached out and helped me-- now it's my turn to pay that life-saving favor forward.
